THIS SUNDAY AT REDEEMER: 1) I'll teach/preach again on
Healing and the Atonement; 2) I'll pray for anointing and empowerment for

Ministry to Victims of
Sex Trafficking and Exploitation: Some of our church's women are involved in a
ministry that goes into strip clubs and reaches out to the women involved in
this. If you are interested, please contact the office, 734-242-5277

Help us Bake Brownies for the Ann Arbor Hash Bash! You can drop them off
at the church during office hours this Friday, the 31st, or come that evening
between 7-8 p.m. Please wrap the brownies individually so they can be handed
out. We have nine people from Redeemer going to minister that day! Please be in
prayer for us. For any questions, call Andy Griffith (734-777-3820).

In May we are planning to host eight of our leaders from India who have
assisted Pastor Joe Atkinson in our Full Life in Christ mission there. Please
pray for this. They are in the process of securing Visa’s, which is not an easy
task. During the next few weeks, please pray for God’s favor with the embassy
officials so they all can get Visas and are able to come!

How Do We Respond to Immigrants and Refugees? What would Jesus have us do?
Pastor John will lead a book study on this issue, using the book Seeking
Refuge: On the Shores of the Global Refugee Crisis. If you are interested
in being part of this please let John know. Then purchase the book and read it.
John will be looking at a date when we can meet to discuss, pray, and listen to
what God is saying to us.

Pastor John's study on his book Praying will meet on Saturday, April 1st, at 10
a.m. We will discuss: How solitary praying helps in the creation of authentic
community; How praying is bigger than what we can think or see; How praying
shapes us into overcomers; and How praying releases us from a spirit of
control. All are invited!

We will have Baptisms on Palm Sunday (April 9). If God calls you to be baptized
please contact Pastor John (johnpiippo@msn.com) or Tim Curry
(tntcurry@gmail.com)

Young adults meet weekly on Wednesday at 7pm in the family room (old RMS room).
Our goal is to grow into adults whose laser-focused lives are Christ. We are
using the Psalms to teach us to pray. Adults who have graduated high school (or
are in the 13th year of middle college) and older are welcome. Questions?

than breakfast. If you are interested in joining us, please sign up in the
lobby or contact Mark Cowan (419) 344-1973. Your sons and neighbors are welcome
